Entertaining info

The venue has changed, but all the spectacular, inspiring and fun knowledge that spills from the minds of Springfield folk at this event remains the same. PechaKucha comes to the Hoogland Center for the Arts on Aug. 1. Corral your friends for an evening of drinks and entertainment. Ten individuals will share their powerpoint presentations (20 slides for 20 seconds each) and speak about a topic they are passionate about. Some of the presenters include Damien Kaplan, Jacqueline Bichsel, Ph.D., Carl Follin, Mary Young, Bruce Sommer and Adam Liesman. Doors open at 6 p.m. and food and drink will be available for purchase. Get your tickets now; these soirees sell out. Phone or pick up you tickets to avoid a $1.50 fee.
